Website Terms

Before you use the site

By reading or using Scanheritage, you agree to follow these terms, which apply to scanheritage.org and its features. “We” means the operator of the site.

Historical and travel content is offered for general interest and education. It is not legal, conservation or professional advice, and interpretations can change as research develops. Check opening times, access rules and local laws before visiting a site, and never disturb protected places or remove objects.

Material, ownership and conduct

Our original text, photographs and design are held by the operator or used with permission, and credit lines apply where shown. You may read and link. Republication for any purpose beyond lawful quotation needs consent. Archive and museum images remain with their holders.

You may not use Scanheritage for anything illegal, abusive or deceptive, nor interfere with its operation by malware, intrusion attempts, bypassing safeguards or heavy automated scraping. Reasonable restrictions may be applied to deal with misuse.

Please submit only what you have rights to share and avoid personal or confidential data. We may consider your feedback when editing. Correspondence is not published without consent, and sending material does not guarantee that it will be used.

Ads, affiliates and other sites

Adverts, sponsor messages and affiliate links may be shown, and some earn us a commission. We disclose significant relationships with relevant content. Showing an item is not a promise that it will perform as hoped.

When you follow a link away from scanheritage.org, you leave our control. The other site’s terms and privacy practices apply. Orders, bookings and support remain between you and that site, and linking implies no relationship between us.

Legal notes, changes and contact

We do not promise that the website will always work or be free from mistakes. Within legal limits, warranties are excluded and liability for consequential loss is restricted. Mandatory legal rights and remedies are not reduced.

Anyone who violates these terms may be blocked, and the sections on intellectual property, disclaimers and liability remain effective even after a block.

From time to time we may amend the site or these terms. The latest text is shown here and does not disturb existing rights. Should a provision fail, the other provisions still apply. For clarification of any point above, email [email protected].
